'The Killing' final season gets Netflix release date

The final season – the real final season this time – of The Killing has a release date.

Netflix will unleash the last season of the murky, rainy crime drama on Aug. 1. The final fourth-season batch is only six episodes, so this is one binge you can easily polish off in a single night.

As we’ve previously noted, The Killing, which stars Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman as Seattle detectives, was AMC’s true zombie show – a series that was canceled twice and then revived twice. More details about its improbably resurrection.
